Quantum Testbed now open to WACQT partners and researchers

Chalmers Next Labs announces the opening of the Quantum Testbed, offering support with quantum technologies, for WACQT partners and researchers. The testbed will offer access to state of the art resources for both quantum hardware and quantum software testing. Following the agreement signed with IBM in January 2024, IBM’s top-of-the-line quantum computers are now also made accessible to WACQT collaborators.

The announcement means that the center’s partners — Saab, AstraZeneca, Ericsson, Jeppesen, Volvo Group, Hitachi Energy, KTH, Lund University, Stockholm University, Linköping University, Gothenburg University, and Chalmers — now may run algorithms on world-leading quantum computers. Through the testbed, researchers and developers have access to IBM’s 127-qubit Eagle and 133-qubit Heron quantum processors.

Highlights and events

The conceptual image shows how the researchers’ sculpted pattern of tiny hills and valleys – smaller than one millionth of a hair’s thickness – on the substrate (MgO, at the bottom) guides how the atoms in the superconducting material (YBCO, on top) settle. At the interface between the two layers, an electronic landscape allows superconductivity to occur at higher temperatures than previously possible – even when high magnetic fields were are applied.
